by Gangholgeo Choi, Ui-Gwon Kim
When Se-Yeong wakes from his coma, he realizes he’s lost everything. His parents are dead, having set themselves on fire to bring attention to how Se-Yeong was bullied by his rich peers in school. But from what he can gather, the whole lot of them—eight in total—have gone back to their normal lives without consequences thanks to having such rich and powerful parents. Filled with anger and regret, Se-Yeong locks himself up in the highest-up, rooftop apartment of the building his parents have left him, shutting himself away from the rest of the world. But strange things start happening; he finds a giant burning sword on the rooftop, and there’s a voice in his head, whispering to fight… Se-Yeong thought he’d lost everything, but looks like his revenge is just beginning now… (Source: Lezhin US, edited)

Read the full take
Rooftop Swordmaster opens with a devastating loss. Se-Yeong wakes from a coma to find that his parents have died in protest over how he was bullied by rich classmates. The other tormentors have returned to normal life without consequence. Filled with anger and regret, he locks himself into the top-floor apartment of the building his parents left him, and the premise is a bleak, direct setup for revenge.The series is strongest when Se-Yeong's grief becomes focus. The swordplay gives the revenge a physical language, and the full-colour fights give the story momentum. The isolation of the rooftop adds to the sense of a closed world.The weaknesses are heavy bullying themes and revenge beats that follow familiar paths. Readers who enjoy grim revenge stories with a sword-driven edge will find plenty to grip them. Those wanting lighter fare should look elsewhere, though the story is consistent in its intensity.
